Weather.com is always ready to talk about a snow storm, but, is you heating system fready to go. A little preventive maintanance can keep you warm through out the winter.

Are you eager for the first snow of the season? Have you already waxed your skis? Are you dreaming of snow days or dreading shoveling your driveway?

We’ve researched National Weather Service 30-year average data to find the date by which the season’s first measurable snow – defined as 0.1 inch or more – typically occurs to compile the map above.

Keep in mind, these are averages of seasons that include early and late snowfalls. Any given season can produce the season’s first snowfall either very early or very late, depending on the weather pattern at the time.

The tables below list average first dates, the earliest first season snow on record, and average seasonal snowfall for a list of cities in each region of the U.S.

For more southern locations, such as Atlanta and Dallas, snow may not fall every season. Therefore, instead of mentioning an average first date of measurable snow, we specify an average timeframe during which you can expect the “best chance” of measurable snow each year.

Northeast

October is typically the month’s first snow in the mountains of northern New England, the Adirondacks, and the higher peaks of northwest Pennsylvania and the central Appalachians. Most of the rest of the interior Northeast joins in during November, while the I-95 corridor from Providence, Rhode Island, to Virginia typically waits until December to see their first accumulating snowfall of the season.
